Yup :-( The first one seems to come from the bash prompt since it effects any other programs I might run from bash, ie.. they all get a single when I start them, and after that read itself seems to have the same problem. I assume they both use the GNU readline lib to work, so there might be some bug in there??? I haven't looked that far into it myself. - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
